NEVER ALONE

(El Koskaan Yskin)

(Drama, 2025, North Palm Beach County Premiere. Directed by Klaus Härö. Finland, 85-minues – In Swedish, Yiddish, Russian, Hebrew, English, Finnish, and German with English subtitles.)

Many heroes of Jewish resistance to the Nazis are still relatively unknown decades after WWII. In the hands of director Härö (The Fencer), the story of a risky maneuver by Jewish Helsinki businessman Abraham Stiller to save the lives of eight refugees comes to the screen with immense heart and impressive period veracity. Even as Finland appeared to be a haven for Jews fleeing the Nazis, the government forms an alliance with Nazi Germany against Russia. Stiller, wealthy, respected, and well-connected in political circles, calls in every favor and puts his life, reputation and business on the line to mount a clandestine mission to save the eight Jewish men scheduled for deportation to a death camp. Co-starring Ville Virtane and Karl Hietalahti.
